The Reign of Terror was yet again another terrible thing to live through and witness. Most of my family was gulliotined. Robspierre was a horrible person, he thought that terror was the only way of controlling people. Normally I say men and women should not speak against their rulers, but in this case Robspierre was a horrendous man who killed innocent people recklessly. 30,000 people a year. Thank goodness the Reign of Terror only lasted a year, but that was far too much. Robespierre was finally arrested and he himself was executed. The deaths slowed down dramatically after his death. Thank goodness.
